Piano taught with patience and joy

I'm Janice, and I've been teaching piano in the Montclair area for over a decade. My studio is a place where students of all ages feel safe to learn, make mistakes, and grow.

I believe every student has their own musical voice β€” my job is to help them find it. Lessons are tailored to each student's goals, whether they dream of playing classical repertoire, exploring contemporary music, or simply enjoying the piano for life.

β€” Charles W., piano parent
"Janice is the absolute best! She's patient with my daughter and is teaching her curriculum and music theory based on a set of books. We had a lot of piano trials with different teachers, and she was the most kind and knowledgeable in my opinion. Definitely get lessons with her if you can! She is not cheap but the lessons are worth every penny!"

"Janice has been teaching beginner piano to my 8 year old twins for several months now. She is very patient with the kids and communicates well with them.

I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking about taking up piano."
